When pigs are fed freely upon highly
succulent food, such as cooked roots, the
refuse of starch works and the like, they
are frequently found to give a very
rapid increase. But pork SO fed is found
to sink rapidly in the sailing process aud
to waist considerably when boiled. On
the other hand, when pigs are fattened
too exclusively upon nitrogenized legum-
1uous seeds or acorns, the lean is found
to be very hard and the fat to waste in
cooking.
